In the wake of Ryan Garcia‘s decision to go into rehab, a shocking video has come to light where a hospitalized man accuses the boxer from California of assault. While it has yet to be verified whether or not the video speaks the truth, Garcia’s rival and current WBC Super-Lightweight champion, Devin Haney shared the brief clip to amplify its distribution.

Well, Ryan Garcia’s fondness for Twitter might prove fatal to his progress. After his victory over Devin Haney was changed to a no-contest on account of Ryan’s B-sample testing positive for a PED, ‘KingRy’ went on an extremely racist and Islamophobic rant on X. As a result, disappointed in ‘KingRy’, the WBC expelled the boxer from their council. In this connection, although the boxer apologized later for his online behavior, he simultaneously took exception to the WBC’s decision.

Anyway, as Ryan Garcia’s family and Golden Boy Promotions also disapproved of the boxer’s views, the 25-year-old decided to go into rehab. But now, out of the blue, an African-American man alleged that Ryan Garcia seriously injured him as he confronted the controversial star about his recent racist slurs. In the video, the man was heard saying, “I ran into Ryan Garcia and he jumped on me because I gave him my opinion about him calling black people the N-word. And I told him he needed to be black. So, he and his goons jumped [on] me.” So, what is the man’s current condition?

And now, I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to walk again,” the man who had posted the video on TikTok by the ID Da Mayor added. “So, I ask y’all [to] just pray for me and my family. God help me in this cruel world, Ryan Garcia is a cruel man. And he needs to be stopped.” When Devin Haney shared the post on X, he exclaimed “Damn Ryan..

While this is a serious allegation capable of ruining Ryan Garcia’s career, the veracity of the clip and the man’s statement still needs to be confirmed. Meanwhile, Ryan Garcia attended his brother Sean Garcia’s fight against Amado Vargas where ‘KingRy’ allegedly quarreled with fans as well.

At the Honda Center in Anaheim, Ryan Garcia witnessed his younger brother Sean Garcia receive his first professional defeat yesterday. In the southpaw stance, Amado landed a solid uppercut on Sean Garcia. Although Garcia got back up to fight toe-to-toe, Vargas’ body punches were too much for Sean to bear. Anyway, as Sean lost, Fredo Cervantes reported that Garcia had been escorted out of the arena “due to an altercation with some fans.” But Garcia denied it.

I wasn’t escorted I left,” he wrote.
